2010 Map of Walton

About this map

The town of Crittenden and the village of Walton serve as the primary hubs in this northern Kentucky landscape, where the terrain is deeply etched by the winding tributaries of the Licking River watershed. A dense network of family-named cemeteries, such as the Northcutt Cemetery and Byland Cemetery, suggests a long-established rural community organized around small hamlets like Bracht and Flingsville. The area's hydrology is characterized by numerous forks and branches, including Sawyers Fork and North Fork Middle Fork Grassy Creek, which flow through the agricultural hills. Boone Lake provides a notable exception to the drainage pattern, while major transportation corridors parallel the older routes of the McCoys Fork. Local family history is preserved in the naming of many backroads, from Spillman Rd to Hempfling Rd, reflecting the generational footprint of the surrounding countryside.
